TTC naturally - timed intercourse, legs up, low caffeine you name it- went to 1 IVF appointment but said no @ 26!
Unexplained infertility but had no investigations

August 1994 -27 - adopted DS and continued DTD for 10 years

March 2004 - 37 - natural conception ~Charlotte~ born still - unexplained fetal death in utero

38/39 - started IVF due to age constraints and unexplained infertility ? -found blocked/damaged tubes - tube clipped but continued cycling.

June/July 2005 - 1st Cycle - 2 Day 2 embies transferred BFN

August 2005 FET - 2 Day 2 embies transferred BFN

Oct/Nov 2005 - 2nd Cycle 2 Day 6 hatched blasts transferred ... BFP now our 8 week old twin sons (born 4.5 weeks early)


Sometimes I wish I hadn't said no to IVF all those years ago but maybe we wouldn't have our DS. or be where we are today. So many what if's ?

I have to say though I may not have ventured down the IVF path were it not for many wonderful friends I met on the internet here and elsewhere.They encouraged and supported me and I educated myself through sites like BB and the internet in general.

I agree support and education is a consideration but who knows the secret to the elusive BFP we all crave on our TTC journey.
